: : : : : Today, 3/8/01 I had 9 of my 40 stocks showing the same closing prices as yesterday. I recognize that we are currently using Yahoo as our reference, but there is a problem somewhere. I am watching CNBC and am seeing significantly different closing prices. What are you doing about this error? Hopefully, it will be corrected by tomorrow.

: : : : Hi Sam,
: : : : Fund Manager updates the prices as reported by whatever server you're
: : : : using. Usually these are also delayed by at least 20 minutes. If you see
: : : : a discrepency between a price reported by a server when using your browser
: : : : and when retrieving from FM please let us know, but we have no control over
: : : : the prices being reported by the servers. You can also try another server
: : : : if you're not satisfied with a particular one for some reason. We support
: : : : quite a few, see:

: : : : --Thanks Mark,
: : : I have used yahoo for a long time with no trouble, but yesterday and the day before I got an asterisk after the stock price when I printed my Portfolio Value and those 9 items with an asterisk where the closing prices of the day before. I will watch it for a few days but thought you should know about it.

: : Same,

: Today, only 4 out of 22 stocks where update. It getting worst. It start with on or two and today 18. I have the latest retrieve module 305 and using Yahoo for retreiving. Even big company that have millions of share moved every day where not updated.
: Thanks,

I just tested Yahoo and it is working properly now. If this happens again,
you can send us your "intlog2.txt" file, along with a sample ticker symbol
that didn't update, that you expected to update. You can also try viewing
the quotes on Yahoo using your browser. Maybe there is a temporary problem.
If you can view the prices with your browser, then FM should also be able
to retrieve them.

Thanks,
Mark
